BMW Media 2. The new BMW M550d xDrive. Information Performance diesel combines top- 04/2017 page 3 level dynamic performance and efficiency (Short version) BMW is now expanding the new generation of the world's most successful business sedan, the BMW 5 Series, with the addition of another M Performance model. The new BMW M550d xDrive is fitted with the most powerful diesel engine ever offered in a BMW 5 Series model. With this uniquely powerful engine, the BMW M550d xDrive – whether in the Sedan or the Touring version – offers a distinctive driving experience that combines supreme performance with unlimited everyday practicality and impressive efficiency. The world’s most powerful 6-cylinder diesel. The most powerful diesel engine in the segment is also the most powerful 6- cylinder diesel in any car worldwide. The in-line engine has a capacity of 3.0 litres as well as modern M Performance TwinPower Turbo Technology with four turbochargers. It has an output of 294 kW/400 hp at 4,400 rpm (combined fuel consumption: 6.6–5.4 l/100 km*; combined CO2 emissions: 173-142 g/km*)** and puts a maximum torque on stream of 760 Nm from 2,000 rpm. Power transmission is via a standard 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. The intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive distributes the drive power to all four wheels according to the needs of the situation. Thus fitted, the BMW M550d xDrive fully meets the high dynamic standards of an M Performance automobile: it accelerates in 4.4 seconds* (Touring: 4.6 s*) from zero to 100 km/h, and its maximum speed is 250 km/h (electronically cut off). Matching performance and appearance. The appearance of the BMW M55d xDrive reflects the car’s high dynamic potential. The M aerodynamic package, the M sports suspension lowered by 10 millimetres, the Integral Active Steering and the exclusive 19-inch M light alloy wheels with mixed tyres visually convey the exceptional performance capacity of the sporty diesel model. In conjunction with the intelligent all- wheel drive system BMW xDrive, these ensure outstanding ride stability and the best possible power transmission in all road conditions. On the inside, such features as optional M sports seats with Dakota leather or fabric/Alcantara covers and an M sports leather steering ensure the exclusive sporty atmosphere that is characteristic of all M Performance automobiles.

(Long version) Founded in 1972, BMW Motorsport GmbH set standards in international automobile racing. In 1993 the fully-owned BMW AG subsidiary changed its name to BMW M GmbH. With its products and services today covering the five business areas of BMW M automobiles and BMW M Performance automobiles, BMW Individual, M equipment and packages, BMW Group Driving Experience and finally security, emergency and special vehicles, it targets customers with particularly high aspirations in terms of the performance, exclusivity and individuality of their automobile. In 2012 BMW M GmbH introduced the new product category of BMW M Performance automobiles to span the gap between the top BMW models and the M core models designed for the very highest level of performance and race track suitability. The new BMW M550d xDrive extends the model range of the M Performance automobiles by adding two enthralling variants as well as providing the top-of-the-range diesel model as part of the BMW 5 Series. High-performance engine for thrilling driving performance figures. The new BMW M550d xDrive is fitted with the most powerful 6-cylinder diesel engine in the world in the automotive area. The M Performance TwinPower Turbo in-line 6-cylinder diesel in the new BMW M550d xDrive has a capacity of 2,993 cc and features four turbochargers that operate on the principle of multi-stage turbocharging, as well as a common rail system that injects the fuel directly into the combustion chambers at a maximum pressure of more than 2,500 bar. The engine has an output of 294 kW/400 hp at 4,400 rpm and generates a maximum torque of 760 Nm which goes on stream between 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm, as well as being fitted with an auto start/stop function (combined fuel consumption of the Sedan: 5.9 l/100 km*; combined CO2 emissions: 154 g/km* – combined fuel consumption of the Touring: 6.2 l/100 km*; combined CO2 emissions: 163 g/km*)**. It accelerates the Sedan in 4.4 seconds* and the Touring in 4.6 seconds* from zero to 100 km/h. The maximum speed for both body versions is electronically cut off at 250 km/h. Multi-stage turbocharging for incomparable engine characteristics. The output of the new BMW M550d xDrive is 14 kW/19 hp higher than that of the predecessor model – an increase of five per cent – while maximum torque * Provisional specifications. * The fuel consumption figures were calculated based on the ECE test cycle, dependent on tyre format. BMW Media Information 04/2017 page 6 has been increased by 20 Newton metres. At the same time, average consumption and emission values have been reduced by 11 per cent. As such, the most powerful BMW diesel engine offers a balance between output and fuel consumption that is unsurpassed in this engine segment. The engine of the BMW M550d xDrive once again demonstrates the BMW Group’s leading position in the drivetrain sector. Its modern multi-stage turbocharging with four turbochargers builds up boost pressure even more quickly, also in the lower engine speed range. This means torque is available early on and increases rapidly: a torque of more than 450 Nm goes on stream at just 1,000 rpm. Four turbochargers for higher output and a more spontaneous response. The use of a fourth turbocharger further optimises the engine’s efficiency and performance characteristics. As in the predecessor engine, the air flows into the combustion chambers by means of a multi-stage turbocharging process. At the high-pressure stage, two compact turbochargers are used with variable turbine geometry and integrated in a combined housing. The two low- pressure turbochargers are new and replace the previous large-sized third turbocharger: with their reduced dimensions they make for an even more direct engine response. The two low-pressure turbochargers and one of the two high-pressure chargers are permanently powered during travel. The second high-pressure turbocharger is only added at engine speeds of over 2,500 rpm. At high load requirement from idling, the two low-pressure turbochargers are briefly circumvented by means of a flap control system so as to build up boost pressure even faster.
